A Brief History of Philosophical Skepticism



Socrates, 370 b.c.: "I don't know anything but my own ignorance." Pyrrho, 250 b.c.: "I don't know if what is before my eyes is real." Al-Ghazali, 1070: "I don't know if my own faculties of reason are real." Descartes, 1640: "I don't know if anything is real but my existence." Spinoza, 1670: "I don't know if God is real." Berkeley, 1715: "I don't know if anything but my ideas are real." Hume, 1750: "I don't know if what is real today will still be real tomorrow." Kant, 1780: "I don't know if appearances are the same as true reality." Derrida, 1970: "Shit man, i don't even know what words mean. I mean like, what the hell is a word, anyway? Who knows. Probably no one."
Also...what even is "writing clearly"? I'm not sure it exists.

Also, my Dad had to have an emergency surgery in Mexico where he lives, and had to borrow money from basically a stranger, if you can spare a few dollars for his gofundme that would help a ton to increase total happiness on Planet Earth.
